Hotel Rural La Raya 1866

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The breakfasts were outstanding - plentiful and delicious. Our room and the communal hallways and terraces were beautiful. We had so much space - a bedroom with gorgeous sea views, a dining and seating area with a fridge and a private terrace with plunge pool (you can't actually swim in it) with sea and mountain views. It was blissful. The first night arriving in the dark we did worry that it seemed completely isolated after our satnav took us the wrong way (use the full address, not the postcode) but you can actually walk into Guimar where there a few bars and more than initially meets the eye but it is a quiet town. But you can walk up into the mountains or go to the beach and restaurants at El Puertito and see so many landscapes in a tiny distance there is plenty to do. Or just sunbathe on the terrace :)

We had the pleasure to spend one week in Anibal's hotel which was just awesome to discove the island waking up in this hotel every morning. Its located near the mountains in a calm and quite environment, pure canarian island feeling. For those who still seek to be close to touristic area, highway is 5 minutes and from there just 30 minutes. Beach, hiking routes, everything close. The hotel itself is just lovely. Original style, clean, quite, sky full of stars in the night and ocean and sunrise in the morning. Abundant food for breakfast which was very delicious. And Anibal is the perfect host. Not only kind and helpful, but also super organized, who seeks to provide a perfect stay. He has advices for restaurants, beaches and any location you want to see around the island. We definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return one day.

Very rural and quiet, but five mins in car to Guimar. Hannibal was great to deal with, he genuinely wanted us to have a great stay. Excellent breakfast. Lots of character.
